From Malaysia, open an account with a broker that offers US shares (many local and app-based brokers do), convert ringgit to US dollars, then buy CL. US shares trade one share at a time, not in lots of 100. Check the currency conversion fee and US dividend tax (usually 30% withheld for Malaysians) before you buy.
